Raymundo was reportedly doing bench presses when his assistant accidentally dislodged the barbell on top of his face, causing multiple facial bone fractures and totally crushing his nose and middle face.
The actor, son of former beauty queen Nina Zaldua-Raymundo, was immediately brought to the hospital by the people who were also in the same gym that time.
Nina said:
"Lance will undergo 2 major reconstructive facial procedures. The first one tentatively set on Tuesday, March 25 and the next approximately 2-3 weeks after, and the doctors gave assurance that Lance's face will be 100% restored,"
“If he recovers sooner than that we will publicly advise,”
The gym where the accident happened was not immediately known.
Raymundo was the lead character in the first episode of the hit Singapore Horror TV series Incredible Tales (Season 5) hosted by VJ Utt. The Singaporean crew shot the episode in the Philippines.
He was also casted in the films, "Fidel,""Ang Nerseri" and "A Thief, A Kid & A Killer".
